      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    When head cheerleader Heather (Ashanti), tree-hugger Beth (Bush), and Kodiak reporter Carrie (Kebbel) discover that they are all secretly dating the same all-star basketball captain and all-around big man on campus, they decide that John Tucker (Metcalfe) Must Die. But how, oh how, do they kill him? With the help of an unmemorable newcomer Beth (Snow), they devise and execute a plan to make him pay, and pay dearly, for his lyin

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.82:1 DVD exhibits well-balanced colors, but fleshtones are slightly too red. Details can be resolved nicely, but there are scenes that can look soft. The image is very bright, which generally limits the black levels. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #86 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it offers in-depth, techno nerd detail level views and information about technology; integrated with a plain, easy-to-understand newbie explanation. The combination helps keep the inexperienced and experts alike informed, up-to-date, and market aware. Without Widescreen Review, I'd be just another large electronics store item purchasing sheep. Thank you for shepherding me towards the light.
